FFFC!

I hate when the title of a post has unncessary capitalization and exclamation points.  Like, "HELP ME  choose a STROLLER!!!!!"  I judge those people for not being able to realize their stroller, diaper bag, GTT, or shower is not an emergency. 

 

I hate posts with titles like "WHY ME?????? " or "Got devastating news today"

And then it's about how their favorite ice cream isn't sold in gallon buckets and they have to buy the quart sized.  Or something equally stupid.

I absolutely agree.  Any post that is ridiculously dramatic or misleading is annoying to me and I almost refuse to reply.

This is my first FFFC ever.

I can't stand when post titles are as follows:

Recommend your...

What do you think of...

So today I...

It makes me want to punch things. Why can't you just finish the sentence?

I am looking forward to three months off work almost as much as meeting my baby.  I hate my job and my boss is a moron.  If she isn't around (which is most of the time) and I can get away with it, I surf the net all day long because I have nothing but busywork to do.

Also, I get annoyed with DH that he is not working on the remodel or cleaning the house or "stepping up" for me as much as I want him to, but I sit on the computer on FB or this board most evenings and don't do a damn thing, so I'm a hypocrite.

word for word for the work part... 

about the remodeling my house too!!!

I agree. I try really hard to just finish the sentence in the title.

  I'm very pro-vaccine but I feel like chicken pox is just not a big deal so why vaccinate for it? 

My biggest reason is not wanting to spend a week at home with a cranky, sick kid. That sounds like a really crappy week for both of us.

Plus the fact that while rare, kids do get serious complications from chicken pox. And the part where I didn't get it until I was 12, so I fully remember every miserable bit of being that itchy and sick.

I am a perfect example of this. The chicken pox vaccine came out MONTHS before I got the most god-awful, terrible, horrible pox ever. My PEDIATRICIAN, not my MOTHER chose not to vaccinate me, and I will never fully forgive him for it, even though he was an otherwise kind man and excellent doctor. I was hospitalized for a month, including a week in ICU. I had pox on top of pox, there were so many! And they were EVERYWHERE! In my lungs, on my brain, on my eyes and eyelids, my stomach, vagina, you name it, they were there. By the time I was allowed to leave(the day before easter that year) my back looked and had to be treated like a severe burn patient because I was on it for so long. I have scars covering most of my body, spawning much school-yard teasing and name-calling(crater-face seemed most popular). A few years later I developed common variable immune deficiency(primitive t-cells) and Alopecia Areata Totalis(total hair loss), then when I was 15 I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.

I will be vaccinating this and any future LO's to the hilt and as soon as their Ped offers them. I do not want my kids to suffer through what I went through.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think a lot of people forget about the rare but serious risks a "normal" disease like chicken pox can have.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I really, really thought the chicken pox vaccine didn't come out in America until the mid-90s.

I'm one of the ladies that's due the later part of May, I feel like by the time we get to some of the tests etc everyone is sick of them and I don't want to make a post about it but damnit I'm scared. I've gained 30 lbs and my doctor made me feel like a fatty, now I?m worried that maybe I have GD and I'm scared about the test I have on Monday. I am thinking about fasting before it but my draw is not until 10:50 and by then I will be starving and I'm worried I'm going to pass out when they take my blood after not eating and crashing from the sugar high....Yes I'm being a big baby about it. Also, I really am worried about having GD because I don't want to diet..I want to enjoy all this yummy food that I never indulged in before pre pregnancy and don't plan on eating after it (like sweets, I never liked them before being pregnant)

 I took my GD test at 1:00 in the afternoon, and I was nervous about eating too.  But my doctor had told me to eat normally, but if i was really concerned, eat lots of protein and complex carbs (like whole wheat).  I ate both breakfast and lunch and passed, but I definitely didn't eat as much as I would have normally, just because I was nervous about what to eat.  Eggs are good, maybe a salad with chicken in it, an apple, stuff like that.

It was licensed in Canada in 1998. If I was 13 in 1998, I'd be 25 or 26 today...

That's my bad and just completely not thinking things through.  I was thinking about how young I was when I got chicken pox, not that I might have never gotten it at a young age, and then contracted it when I was older.

I do hear it is much, much worse to get it when you're older.

I think I just sabotaged my own glucose test. I grabbed some food before (non-fasting test) and ate my biscuit on the way, then came in drank my DELISH orange drink (seriously it tasted like a melted ice pop) and then waited...and i had a few tatter tots left over, so i snacked on them. I wasn't told not to...then the lab tech caught me. She called my doc to see if she wanted me to continue and doc said yea. If i fail they better let me just retake the 1 hr, and not send me thru the 3 hr thing. I wont cry if i do, but since they know what happened they shouldnt right?

If I were your docs office, I'd make you take the 3 hour. Seriously, you were told to fast and you just ignored that advice?

 She said it was a non-fasting test.

My office said its only considered 'non fasting" because you drink the drink before the blood is drawn, but people who eat before usually fail.

I ate a healthy breakfast before mine and I passed just fine. The people that fail probably eat sugary breakfasts, like cinnamon rolls or doughnuts. But some foods dont effect your blood sugar as much, or at all, so you could eat a bunch and still pass.

I don't know when it came out, but I got mine about 1997.

I think it did come out in america in the mid-late 90s, but i hear it can be deathly if you get chicken pox as an adult.

My fffc? There are one or two particular May mommas who seem to be as dumb as a rock. I wish they'd deliver early so we dont have to sift through asinine questions once they have babies; I can't imagine they'll suddenly get any smarter.

Lisa102304

I get annoyed with the dramatics of the minor things. Such as the taste of the effing GTT, shower drama, etc. It seriously makes me want to post "SERIOUSLY, this is the worst thing?" I feel like there are wayyy many drama queens running around here. And a few post whores. Oh, unrelated, but I am annoyed that my laptop is not working and I have to post from iPhone... Can't make stupid paragraphs. it annoys me to no end.

I am seriously considering leaving my husband for you. Agree 100%. I am not sure how some people can figure out how to get dressed without help.

OMFG yes this. 

They also seem the type to whine and whine and whine if they hit 38/39/40 weeks with no baby yet.  The "E" in EDD stands for estimated, people.

We would be a match made in well dressed Sonic heaven! I seriously have wanted to ask if they have a post I note on their toilet reminding them to wipe their arse and zip pants...in that order. Hah! Also posting from iPhone- no paragraphs.

My very tame FFFC...

I'm sick and my OB recommended Robitussin for my cough. So i went to the store picked up the adult Robitussin, realized it had no flavor, set it down and opted for the fruit punch Children's Robitussin. lol

Then I bought a box of girl scout cookies outside of the store. I could not even wait to get to my car before I was tearing the box open. And the 2 minute drive home...heck no I couldn't wait that long lol. If DH gets to stop and have beers with the guys after work I can stop at the store and have Girl Scout Cookies by myself! lol

Is there a way to click "ignore" on certain ones? I will not be able to handle this. And what about the daily mucous plug posts we have to look forward to?

It's left of "Reply" and says "block". It only works sometimes, though, which makes me sad.

Most of my blocked list lives on a Nest board, though, not here. Just for the record.

Aww man, you mean on exactly the 8th a turkey timer won't pop up and the baby won't automatically come strolling out because the alarm will go off? DAMNIT NATURE, I WAS LIED TO!

 

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the "lol I'm 36 wks and sooooo done so I did lots of jumping up n down and riding over bumpy roads to get this baby out! Should I try caster oil? I can't take being pregnate ne more!"

Which brings me to my other confession. Spell out your words, for real. It's not hard to type you instead of you and if I see one more "What r u doing for ur shower?!?!?!!?" title I'm going to lose all faith in humanity
